Embedding inertial-magnetic sensors in everyday objects: assessing spatial cognition in children by Campolo, Domenico, Taffoni, Fabrizio, Formica, Domenico, Iverson, Jana, Sparaci, Laura, Keller, Flavio, Guglielmelli, Eugenio

“…This paper describes an interdisciplinary approach to the assessment of children development of spatial cognition, with a focus on the technology. An instrumented toy (block-box) is presented which embeds magneto-inertial sensors for orientation tracking, specifically developed to assess the ability to insert objects into holes. …”

Contrasting lexical biases in bilingual English–Mandarin speech : verb-biased mothers, but noun-biased toddlers by Setoh, Peipei, Cheng, Michelle, Bornstein, Marc H., Esposito, Gianluca

“…For both English and Mandarin, toddlers’ speech and reported vocabulary contained more nouns than verbs across book reading and toy playing. In contrast, their mothers’ speech contained more verbs than nouns in both English and Mandarin but differed depending on the context of the interaction. …”

Laplacian spectra of persistent structures in Taiwan, Singapore, and US stock markets by Yen, Peter Tsung-Wen, Xia, Kelin, Cheong, Siew Ann

“…In this paper, we explain why structures that are persistent with respect to changes in length and time scales are proper effective variables, and illustrate how persistent structures can be identified from the spectra and Fiedler vector of the graph Laplacian at different stages of the topological data analysis (TDA) filtration process for twelve toy models. We then investigated four market crashes, three of which were related to the COVID-19 pandemic. …”

Beyond early linguistic competence : development of children's ability to interpret adjectives flexibly by Gao, Helena Hong, Zelazo, Philip David, Sharpe, Dean, Mashari, Azad

“…In Experiment 1, children were required to interpret big and little both in reference to a basic level kind (e.g., “This is a big marble”) and in reference to a superordinate kind (e.g., “This is a little toy”). Experiment 2 examined 3-year-olds’ flexible interpretation of big and little with respect to a medium-sized stimulus that was alternately compared with a smaller stimulus and a larger stimulus (e.g., “Which one of these two circles is the big one?”). …”

Micro fourier transform profilometry ($μ$FTP) : 3D shape measurement at 10,000 frames per second by Zuo, Chao, Tao, Tianyang, Feng, Shijie, Huang, Lei, Asundi, Anand, Chen, Qian

“…To show $\mu$FTP's broad utility, we use it to reconstruct 3D videos of 4 transient scenes: vibrating cantilevers, rotating fan blades, bullet fired from a toy gun, and balloon's explosion triggered by a flying dart, which were previously difficult or even unable to be captured with conventional approaches.…”

Fully quantum modeling of exciton diffusion in mesoscale light harvesting systems by Zheng, Fulu, Chen, Lipeng, Gao, Jianbo, Zhao, Yang

“…The phonons are treated on the same footing as the exciton. Tested with toy models, which are nanoarrays of the B850 pigments from the light harvesting 2 complexes of purple bacteria, the methodology is adopted to describe exciton diffusion in huge systems containing more than 1600 molecules. …”

Using topological data analysis (TDA) and persistent homology to analyze the stock markets in Singapore and Taiwan by Yen, Peter Tsung-Wen, Cheong, Siew Ann

“…We first explain signatures that can be detected using TDA, for three toy models of topological changes. We then showed how to go beyond network concepts like nodes (0-simplex) and links (1-simplex), and the standard minimal spanning tree or planar maximally filtered graph picture of the cross correlations in stock markets, to work with faces (2-simplex) or any k-dim simplex in TDA. …”
